first national park to recognise Community Forest Resource rights
The Community Forest Resource rights under Section 3(1)(i) of the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional
Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act (commonly referred to as the Forest Rights Act or the FRA)
provide for recognition of the right to “protect, regenerate or conserve or manage” the community forest
resource.
These rights allow the community to formulate rules for forest use by itself and others and thereby discharge its
responsibilities under Section 5 of the FRA.
CFR rights, along with Community Rights (CRs) under Sections 3(1)(b) and 3(1)(c), which include nistar rights and
rights over non-timber forest products, ensure sustainable livelihoods of the community.
These rights give the authority to the Gram Sabha to adopt local traditional practices of forest conservation and
management within the community forest resource boundary.
Why is the recognition of CFR rights important?
It is important as it recognises the community’s right to use, manage and conserve forest resources, and to
legally hold forest land that these communities have used for cultivation and residence.
It also underlines the integral role that forest dwellers play in sustainability of forests and in conservation of
biodiversity.
